Thanks Charm and Kelly.

Charm: I'm sorry that you're having issues. I haven't been on the boards that much, so I may have missed some of your posts if you are sharing on it. I hope you feel better very soon.

Kelly: Thanks for relating your past experience. I really do feel like I've been kicked in the butt this past 3 months. I waiting for it to end! I have my med/onco team visit Tuesday and I'm getting the anxiety pangs. I'm going alone this time. My husband would come with me in a heartbeat, but he has already missed so much work. I can go it alone this time. It's not like I'm getting scanned, then I would definitely need him there!

I've gotta try to get to sleep. My schedule has been royally screwed up this past week, with sleeping during the day in spurts and taking turns with Dan on childcare duty. Now, the poor guy is spiking temps of nearly 102 and has the chills. Bring on Spring!
